Upon earning its 51% interest, HudBay can increase its interests, as follows:
i) an additional 9% interest by funding and completing a feasibility study and making a cash
payment of $2,000,000, all on or before December 22, 2012; and
ii) a further 7.5% interest by making a cash payment of $2,500,000 prior to commencement of
commercial production.
If a production decision is made, HudBay will finance the Company’s proportionate share of the
development costs and will be repaid from the Company’s proportionate share of revenues.
The option agreement also provides that the Company has the right to reacquire HudBay’s interests
earned, by partially reimbursing HudBay’s total expenditures or granting HudBay a 1% NSR if the
feasibility study and application for permitting are not complete by December 22, 2013.
